The Metals jury team, led by the legendary publicist Jaime Rosado, Founding Partner and Creative Director of RosadoToledo&, also awarded the Gran Sol to Sightwalks - Veredas que guían, this time in the Innovation in Outdoor/Public Roads/Ambient category, further solidifying the exceptional success of this Peruvian idea.

In Ads, after a rigorous deliberation, the metals jury awarded 66 medals: 1 Gran Sol, 1 Special Mention, 11 golds, 28 silvers, and 25 bronzes.
